There's some kind of basic theorem about situations like this: doing something about injustice happens at a rate proportional to both (a) the injustice and (b) the ease of doing something about it. The injustice is pervasive (low-level, but constant, and indicative of a situation in which people have unaccountable power over the public). But doing something about it requires a type of organizing that... nobody knows how to do. Or at least nobody remembers how to do. So the barrier to it happening is extremely high.
